Getaway Retreat A · Firepit · 1 Block to Bay

2BR · 2BA · Sleeps 6 · Pet-Friendly ($150 Fee) · 1 Block to Bay · Kayak Launch · Firepit & Gas Grill · Private Sundeck · Two-Car Garage · Beach Buggy & Gear · In-Unit Washer/Dryer · Tropical Yard

One block from the bay — and the bay here means a kayak launch, playground, and basketball court within easy reach of the front door. A Getaway Retreat A is a Holmes Beach vacation rental with a two-level layout, a private sundeck for morning coffee, and a downstairs outdoor area with a gas grill and firepit for the evenings.

The two-car garage is underneath the building — covered parking for both vehicles, which is a genuine rarity in Holmes Beach. The downstairs sitting area has the grill and firepit alongside it, making the outdoor space functional at multiple levels throughout the day.

Two bedrooms sleep six. The master has a king bed. The second bedroom has two twin beds. The living room queen sleeper sofa handles the remaining guests. Two full bathrooms. An in-unit washer and dryer handles the week's beach clothes. The kitchen has new appliances throughout. High-speed WiFi included.

The storage area has a beach buggy with chairs and full beach gear — grab everything and head to the beach. The tropical yard has comfortable seating for the afternoons when the pool is calling less loudly than the shade.

The beach is a walk from the property — the bay is one block, the Gulf beach is further. Worth knowing if beach swimming is the priority. The free AMI trolley stops nearby for getting around without a car.

Pet-friendly with a $150 non-refundable fee. Parking for two vehicles in the garage.

A Getaway Retreat A requires a one-week minimum stay.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy the recreation opportunities such as a water park or make use of other amenities including barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Everything was perfect. The place was very nice and accomodating and close to the beach. The only issue I had was trying to figure out how to work the washer/dryer. I was never able to make it work.

Great location. Near the Beach.

Everything was great! Just a few items I would add to the property. A vacuum. I swiffer wet jet. More tp and paper towels. I had a hard time keeping up with sand, with just a broom. I full size iron. And an umbrella for front porch. Lastly i believe the write up said there where beach chairs, and a wagon. We could not find any. The people on the front had some. Luckily we have friends close by bowered chairs and wagon from them. Thank you for the stay. We had a very good time.

We loved our visit to Bradenton Beach!!! The lil beach town is so quaint!! The lil park a block away was so nice! The white sands and beautiful water! The beach cart was handy and the toys a hit!! Lil issues were: needed a separate app to communicate with property management. Suggestions: leave directions for washer/ dryer combo and tv remotes.

Issues Need Addressed

While the location of the condo was fantastic--at about the middle of Anna Maria Island and 2 blocks from the beach--and the furniture and interior design appeared new and was comfortable, the missing elements that are typically found in a Florida VRBO rental are a deal breaker for us returning to this condo. I have rented places in Marco Island, Johns Pass and St.Pete and have never had these inconveniences: 1. The beach equipment in the closet was awful. There were only a few small beach chairs that are on the ground and do not recline. One chair is broken. The camp chairs there are not for the beach. Only one working, small umbrella, although there were 3 umbrella poles. The cart was rusted but useable. We chose to trolley to Manatee Beach where you could rent beach chairs--and added expense for our vacation. 2. There was no ice maker as noted on the amenities. Also, there was no cooler which would have been helpful to take to the beach. We had to buy a styrofoam cooler. 3. The washcloths were so hard and scratchy they hurt our skin. 4. As a result of the apparent new floor, the porch doors did not open fully. It was difficult to squeeze through the doors to use the porch. 5. The outdoor space was soggy and wet and attracting mosquitoes. You should look into drainage. 6. The washer and dryer unit has no instructions so I had to google it. Also, we thought it was broken because it would not turn on. The property management company was unresponsive to my maintenance request so we tried another outlet and it then worked. Therefore, that wall outlet needs fixed. 7. Finally, take note that the Anna Maria Island locals are not welcoming. We were literally screamed at by people who shouted obscenities out their car window when we crossed the street and parked at the dog park lot. All of which were done legally. However, the restaurant employees and shop owners were friendly.

The rental was cute and beachy and relaxing. I rented it for my daughter and grandaughter.

The neighbor in back if the house was off-putting. He was inebriated on more than one occasion and trying to interact. When they first arrived he started to follow them up the stairs until my daughter asked him what he was doing. Also the washer dryer did not work. We had to call for wifi access but the island rental office gave us the wifi the next day. My daughter and grandaughter just went thru the hurricane and had no electricity at home so it was a nice relief to have that. And the apt is really cute and cozy.

Great location 2/2

My family enjoyed our stay. Island Vacation Properties was great. Each time i called, they were always happy and helpful. Very good online communications and follow up. My Rental was just a couple blocks from the beach. VERY Clean, nicely decorated. But......the Kitchen and Baths were very dated but tolerable. The Rental had beach supplies, Beach Wagon, towels, BBQ .and great parking. I will use Island Vacation Properties again for sure.
